A little Landscape

My mother asked me to do a painting for her to give to a priest in Romania... Last year i was around Romania and took a lot of photos! it is based on that photo i choose but added here and there... the lonely tree on top of the hill is something i wanted to really add... I love this hills with only one lonely tree watching in the distance.

I think it took me almost 5 to 6 hour, oil on canvas 41x33

A little guy

So I got inspired By guild wars 2 to make this little guy... I try to be more observent rather than just copy... so this is from imagination. It has some Errors... but now when i m out... and when i look at people.. i see shapes... patterns.. and so on.. withouth me even thinkin i do... So Because of this... it.. just clicked... and of course  you can t do art if you re stressed down.. pissed of and so on... Last week for ex... i couldn t draw for shit!!! So really try .. and relax when you study.. it is hard... TRUST ME I KNOW... but it is the only healthy and good way to become better at your art : ) 

Figure Poses

This are the 2 figure poses i am happy with. The Back view pose is ... as i remember 10 days? was it... i know we lost 2 days haha! and the female 6 days... 3 hours per day... with 20 min out since i was late in the morning .____. 

BUT! i love knowing i have only 10 days... having 20 to more days is really frustrating... ! BUT! ._. i learned a lot from doing those long ones! the Girl... was so much fun to paint! to bad she's goin back to China : <

Need to paint more... i m starting to get an idea what colors to use and so on

So

Colors: Ivory black, Titanium White, Raw Umber, Ultramarin Blue, Cadmium Red deep,  Purple black , crimson alizarin, Yellow Ocre.

And of course canvas and brushes. 

Hope you guys can get an idea of why i use this colors. I love this Purple Black that i got From Ville Ericsson ( http://www.ville-ericsson.se/ )  I use it a lot mostly in my shadows and on to desaturate the reds and oranges. I used to use black that s why my colors where always so lack of color and very desaturated. Anyways : )  Thanks for viewing! 

If you guys have any Questions please ask ^^  Will try and find time and answer : )

New Figure pose

           So today I just started my new figure pose. This one will be only 7 days.
           Need to take a photo of my last two to show here but didn't have the time.
                          Anyways this is like almost 75 cm tall pose.
                  Did a fast sketch with raw umber and a bit of dark. I tried to approach
            the russian style again but she had a unique body shape so I had some
            difficulties trying to keep her prices body type rather than doing the usual
             one i do when i just... draw... hehe

                

            a small detail of the head... love how simple i manage to get it...
                well simple... i am tryin to be more towards simple shapes : )
